Ballack: Germany will reach last eight

Germany captain Michael Ballack said on Thursday he is confident
his side can reach the UEFA EURO 2008 knock-out stages and will be
on form for Saturday's final warm-up with Serbia.

Germany were held 2-2 by Belarus on Tuesday night and Ballack
says while intensive training in Mallorca had taken its toll, the
side will be stronger when they open their EURO 2008 campaign
against Poland on 8 June.

Joachim Loew's side play their final warm-up game against
Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday. "It is not an excuse, but
the training camp is very physical, people are tired, but I am sure
we will be on form for the beginning of the tournament," said
Ballack.

"Against Serbia on Saturday, you will see a different
match."

The Chelsea midfielder, who insists he has recovered from the
disappointment of losing the Champions League final on penalties
last week, added: "When you look at our group, I think we will
make the quarter-finals. There are many teams who are a little
better than us in terms of technical quality or individual talent,
but I believe that our enthusiasm and team spirit can
compensate."

Germany are drawn with Poland, Croatia and co-hosts Austria in
Group B.
